Soliciting & Prostitution Charges

Contact Our Proven Noblesville Criminal Defense Attorneys for Help

The state of Indiana has prohibited prostitution and the solicitation of
prostitutes. Indiana Code § 35-45-4-3 states that in order to be
convicted of prostitution or soliciting a prostitute, a person must either
engage or agree to engage in sexual conduct in exchange for money or other
compensation. This means a sexual act does not even need to occur in order
to be convicted of soliciting a prostitute, the mere agreement can constitute
the crime.
